Use this calculator to calculate your Grade Point Average (GPA) and generate an academic performance report. Supports course credits, standard 4.0 letter grades, honors and AP/IB weighting, and cumulative GPA tracking.
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the standard metric used by high schools and universities to quantify overall academic performance on a 4.0 scale. GPA is calculated using the weighted arithmetic mean formula:
Quality points for each course are determined by multiplying the course's credit hours by the numeric grade points corresponding to the letter grade received (e.g. 4 credits in an A course yields $4 \times 4.0 = 16.0$ quality points).
| Letter Grade | Percent Scale | Standard 4.0 Scale | Honors (+0.5) | AP / IB (+1.0) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 97-100% | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A | 93-96% | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |
| A- | 90-92% | 3.7 | 4.2 | 4.7 |
| B+ | 87-89% | 3.3 | 3.8 | 4.3 |
| B | 83-86% | 3.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 |
| B- | 80-82% | 2.7 | 3.2 | 3.7 |
| C+ | 77-79% | 2.3 | 2.8 | 3.3 |
| C | 73-76% | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 |
| C- | 70-72% | 1.7 | 2.2 | 2.7 |
| D+ | 67-69% | 1.3 | 1.8 | 2.3 |
| D | 63-66% | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 |
| D- | 60-62% | 0.7 | 1.2 | 1.7 |
| F | 0-59% | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Measures academic achievement without accounting for course difficulty. An A in an introductory elective and an A in Advanced Placement Physics both earn 4.0 grade points.
Awards extra grade points for rigorous coursework (+0.5 for Honors, +1.0 for AP and International Baccalaureate classes), allowing GPAs to exceed 4.0.
Pass/No Pass courses do not factor into your GPA calculation. A grade of 'Pass' (P) awards course credits toward graduation requirements without changing your GPA number.
While criteria vary by university, typical Latin Honors cutoffs are: Cum Laude (top 20-30%, typically 3.50-3.69), Magna Cum Laude (top 10-15%, 3.70-3.89), and Summa Cum Laude (top 1-5%, 3.90-4.00).
